RICHARD PAUL HABEL', VOF STURGIS, 'SOUTH DAKOTA.

LAMP.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 753,066, dated February 23, 1904.

Sturgis, in the county of Meade and State Vof South Dakota, have invented new and useful Improvements in Lamps, of which the followi ing is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to improvements in gasolene-lamps, the object being to provide'a simple means for causing a constant and uniform pressure on the gasolene without the use of pumps, thus resulting in a steady light.

Other objects of the invention will appear in the general description. I

I will describe a lamp embodying my invention and then point out the novel features in the appended claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the gures.

Figure l is an elevation of a lamp embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation of the reservoir. Fig. 3 is a sectional View of one 'oi' the generators employed; and Fig. 4 is a detail view, on an enlarged scale, of a portion of one rod and its wire-netting.

Referring to the drawings, l designates the reservoir for gasolene, which may be suspended by means of a hanger 2. On one side of the reservoir near the top is a lilling-nipple 3, which is normally closedV by a screwplug 4. When filling the reservoir, however, I employ a funnel 5, which may be screwed linto the nipple, and on this funnel is a valvecontrolled outlet 6, so that by opening the valve the spilling of the surplus oil in the funnel will be prevented-that is, as the res` ervoir becomes filled the surplus oil in the funnel will run out through the outlet 6. Movable in the reservoir is a pressure device consisting of a plunger 7. This plunger preferably is made of hard rubber, as such material will not absorb gasolene as iron or simi? lar material might. This plunger is made .of a size to fit snugly within the reservoir, but to freely slide therein.

From the plunger a vent-tube 8 extends upward and slides through a stuling-box 9 in the cover 10 of the reservoir. This tube 8,

Application led November 4, 1902. Serial No. 130,050. (No model.)

` as here shown, is connected to a metal thimble 11, secured in the plunger by means of a plate l2. On the outer end of the vent-tube is a valve 13, and also connected to the outer end is a ring 14, designed to be engaged with a hook I5 when the reservoir is to .be filled, as will be hereinafter described. -Attached to the vent-tube is a cross-head 16, and from the ends of this cross-head rods 17 extend down through openings in guide-arms 18 attached to the cover l0, and on the lower ends of these rods are yweights 19. Leading through the bottom of the reservoir is a supply-tube 20, which communicates with branches 21, on the ends of which are curved generator-tubes 22. On the end of each generator-tube is a thimble 24, having a conical outlet 25, which ejects the gas in a spray. The mixed gasolene and air forming the gas passes from the thimble 24 into a burner-tube 26, support-Y ing a burner 27. The inner end of each burner-tube 26 is made in the form of a funnel 28, adjustable on the tube, so as to regulate the space between-it and the thimble24.

Arranged in the bend of each generator-tube 22 is a netting 29 30, consisting of steel or other similar material, and connected to the netting material 29 is a metal rod 31, which extends through the upper portion of the generator-tube, and connected to the netting 30 is a' metal rod 32, which extends through the lower portion of said generator-mbe. These rods 31 32 are a trifle smaller than the inner diameter. of the tube, permitting a small amount of gasolene to pass through the tube. By thus arranging the parts the gasolene in being spread by the rods may bequickly generated into gas.

When it is desired to clean a generator-tube, it may be removed from the casing of the. valve 23 on the tube 21 and also from the thimble 24, when the rods, with the wire-netting attached, may be drawn out. It will be noted that the feed-tube 20 extends upward above the bottom of the reservoir, so that by this arrangement very little or no sediment will enter the tube. i

While I have shown two burners in the drawmay be employed or that a greater number IOO may be employed without departing from the spirit of my invention.

In operation when it is desired to fill the reservoir the plunger is to be drawn up and the ring 14 engaged with the hook 15. After removing the plug 4 the filling-funnel 5 is to be placed in the nipple 3 and the valve 13 opened to permit the escape of air as the gasolene is poured in. After filling and after closing the valve 13 the ring 14 is to be released from the hook 15, so that the plunger will bear upon the gasolene. After a short preliminary heating by an alcohol-torch or the like held adjacent to the tube or tubes 22 gas will be formed by the mixture of the g'asolene and air in the thimble 24, and this formed gas will pass to the burner or burners.

It will be noted that a lamp embodying my invention is very simple in its construction, and no parts are liable to get out of order, and the location of the weig s 19 will indicate the amount of gasolene in the reservoir, or, in other words, will indicate when it is necessary to refill the reservoir. When it is necessary to clean the reservoir, the cover and plunger may be easily removed.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patenty 1. A gasolene-lamp, comprising a reservoir having guides projecting from its cover and provided with means by which it may be suspended, a plunger in the reservoir, a vent-tube secured to the plunger and extending out through the cover of the reservoir, oppositelyprojecting arms carried by the Vent-tube, rods secured to the arms and passing through the guides and carrying Weights at their ends, a generator-tube connected with the bottom of the reservoir, and a burner-tube carried by the reservoir and into which discharges the generator-tube, as set forth.

2. A gasolene-lamp, comprising a reservoir, means for suspending the reservoir, a plunger in the reservoir, a vent-tube secured to and extending upwardly from the plunger and beyond the upper end of the reservoir, oppositely-projecting arms carried by the venttube, weighted rods secured to said arms, a generator-tube connected with the bottom of the reservoir, and a burner-tube carried by the reservoir and into which discharges the generator-tube, as set forth.

3. A gasolene-lamp, comprising a reservoir,

means for suspending the reservoir, a plunger Y in the reservoir, a weighted vent-tube secured to the plunger and extending loosely through the cover of the reservoir, a supply-tube leading from the bottom of the reservoir and provided with lateral branches, inwardly-curved generatortubes on the ends of the said branches, and curved burner-tubes supported from the reservoir below the branch supplytubes, each burner-tube supporting a burner and having a funnel-shaped end arranged opposite the generator-tube, as set forth.

4.Y A gasolene-lamp, comprising a suspended reservoir, a concavo-convex rubber plunger in the reservoir, a valved vent-tube secured to the plunger and extending loosely through the cover of the reservoir and provided with oppositely-projecting arms, rods secured to the ends of the arms and carrying weights at their ends, a generator-tube connected with the bottom of the reservoir, and a burner-tube carried by the reservoir and into which the generator-tube discharges, as set forth.

5. In a gasolene-lamp a bent generator-tube, a metal netting arranged in the bend of the tube, and metal rods arranged in the Lipper and lower portions of the tube and having connections with the opposite ends of the netting, substantially as specified.

6. In a lamp, the combination with a reservoir, of a plunger therein, a vent-tube secured to the plunger and extending out through the cover thereof, op posite-projecting arms on the vent-tube, and rods secured to the ends of the arms and providedwith weights at their ends, as set forth. y

7 In a lamp, the combination with a reservoir provided with apertured guide-arms projecting from its top and means for suspending the reservoir, of a plunger in the reservoir, a valved vent-tube secured to the plunger and projecting out through the cover of the reservoir, a cross-head secured to the venttubes, depending rods secured to the ends of the cross-head and passing through the apertures of the guide-arms, and weights on the lower ends of said rods, as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have sign ed my name to this specification in the presence of two su bscribing witnesses.
